Orthophoto (Ortofoto)

An orthophoto is an aerial photograph that has been geometrically corrected so it can be used as a map with a consistent scale.

GeoDanmark Ortofoto (orthophoto dataset) provides nationwide coverage and is available via Datafordeleren (Denmark's public data distribution platform). Orthophotos are a useful reference layer for drone photographs, but show conditions on the day the images were captured.
